"This is an original and innovative book, which builds upon and extends the area covered in Nam Suh's first book, The Principles of Design. Given Suh's eminence and far-sightedness, I think the book will be of considerable interest it a general readership, and particularly to university staff."

John Crookall, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Cranfield University"Axiomatic design has the potential to impact every part of design, extending well beyond engineering. This is one of the most important and powerful concepts to come out of engineering in the last 100 years." --Christopher Brown, Worcester Polytechnic Institute
